Here are 5 distance metrics in vector search.
But how do you choose the right one?
• L1 (Manhattan): sum of absolute differences, exact kNN only with no HNSW support
• L2 (Euclidean): straight-line distance, the safe default for most models
• Cosine similarity: angle between vectors, magnitude ignored
• Dot product: same ranking as cosine on normalized vectors, less compute
• Max inner product: dot product without the normalization constraint
Most teams default to cosine and move on. That works until your model outputs non-normalized vectors, and suddenly dot product or max inner product is the better fit.

This is what I said yesterday. Many students of mine said same. I shared their screenshots also.
People end up calling me "Farzi aurat"
Apparently that's how this generation talk to teachers.
Real and serious aspirants separate Noise from their Preparation. And they have manners also.

A student of mine (not in services yet but twice interview appeared) and not on any social media has no idea the paper was that difficult 🤷🏼♂️
She had appeared yesterday in upsc prelims and was asking for 90 days plan ahead for mains

More than eight lakh aspirants appeared for the first level of one of India's most competitive and coveted recruitment tests, the Civil Services exam. Many aspirants and mentors are saying this was the toughest paper ever. They are asking if the UPSC questions have become exhaustive, or simply more unpredictable.

A few observations about UPSC CSE Prelims 🙏
- it has not become tough / wild overnight
- the extent of information required to clear prelims has been going up tremendously for the last 5-7 years
- this information can’t be covered meaningfully in under a year (earlier it was still possible to take a shot within a year)
- this will drive away many who are not willing to undergo this much academic rigour
- this is being reflected in dropping number of applicants (13.5 lakhs in 2023 to 8.5 lakhs in 2026)
- the extent of information required increasing is manifesting itself in the form of decreasing numbers of successful candidates in first attempt (23% success rate before COVID years to 7% now)
Keep these things in mind and decide accordingly if you want to take up this maddening challenge
